Mend or Bend

Deeply, at times,

Entangled in a web of sins,
I wish to cut the thread
From which I am barely hanging on

Encumbered by the weight of failing perspectives,
I want to shear the final ligament
That holds my broken bones

Submerged in a pool of anguish,
I yearn to finally and fully shatter
this cracked and wicked vessel.

But, instead,
I choose to be stronger than my brokenness.

We are stronger than we know.

Re: Mend or Bend

At times, I feel exactly like that.

It's a blessing and curse to really feel. Really feel.

We can bend, but we will not break.

"I choose to be stronger than my brokenness."

Such a beautiful way to put it. Thank you.
